Hello, Spring 2022! Where did the time go? It felt like Spring just happened after a very long, cold and dark Winter. Although I barely noticed the changing of the Seasons, it still brings a feeling of relief just knowing that it’s Spring time and soon there’ll be more ‘life” around me. My pet bunny’s … More And Just Like That, It’s Spring Again
Last week, my friend Jessica joined Tashi and I for a short walk at the Lake Vista Recreational Trail. When we parted ways, she said she had fun and wanted to go with us again. Today, we went back with her husband and another friend joining us. It was getting dark so we head back … More Lake Vista Recreational Trail
Day four of our Burr Oak Woods Conservation Nature Center visit and today Tashi decided to explore the Wildlife Habitat Trail. The trail is 1.50 miles with a short/long loop option and gravel base surface. It was a little hot today but the trees provided shade which made our walk comfortable and more enjoyable. Burr Oak … More Wildlife Habitat Trail
Tashi and I’s daily late afternoon walks by the lake reminded me of the Watkins Mill State Park. If I remember it right, we went there last September 2015 and walked around the lake without realizing it was a 5-mile walk. The park is huge and very pretty. It offers a variety of activities to … More Watkins Mill State Park
We didn’t learn our lesson. After getting lost this morning (but ended up at the beautiful Marina) we went back this afternoon and got lost again. This time, google maps just stopped working after announcing we’ve reached our destination. We haven’t. We are in the middle of the road with no sign of the lake. … More Lake Jacomo Marina
We had a little adventure today. After Tashi’s work-out at the YMCA this morning, he told me he wanted to take a short walk before heading home. We thought we’d go to one of the trails near Missouri Town 1855. This time, instead of picking the route we normally take, I chose a different route … More Lost At The Lake
It’s been a week now since Tashi and I have been going for a late afternoon stroll along Lake Jacomo. Our walks are brief yet definitely pleasant. Being surrounded by nature is very relaxing and therapeutic especially after a long and busy day. We often stop to watch a snail cross to the other side of … More A Stroll Along The Lake
It’s a beautiful Sunday! Today’s agenda was to visit and pay respects to our dearly departed ancestors. My Mom’s eldest brother, Uncle Cenen, and my cousin Ryan accompanied us. I lit candles for my dear Grandparents, Uncles, Aunties and relatives. I told my Dad, it felt sad to be in the cemetery and see so … More Macalaya Pier
After visiting our dearly departed relatives, we then proceeded to one of Legaspi City’s popular tourist spots, Cagsawa Ruins Park. There’s really not much to do here but see the world’s most perfect cone shaped volcano, Mount Mayon and what remains of Cagsawa Church after the 1814 eruption of the volcano. I wanted the kids, Urielle, … More Cagsawa Ruins
After Padir’s birthday get together yesterday, it’s beach time today! Our tour guide was my cousin Bong. He knows a lot of people and good places to go, a very good combination for a large group like us (getting discounts on entrance fees). He told us he’s taking us to a beautiful white sand beach – the … More Muladbucad White Beach
